Jan Gaarni Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I can't quite decide which of Rebellion and Force Commander. I think I will go for Rebellion. It has less things that was alittle annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shukrallah Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I like force commander... I've only played FC and SWGB so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamps Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 I just downloaded the demo to Force Commander. Very fun game, the controls are a bit strange but still very good. Also the camera is more complicated than Galactic Battlegrounds, but thats because it is in full 3D. I like the effects in it too. The smoke effects look great, especially for that time. Is there a multiplayer community for Force Commander? I'm thinking about buying it from the Lucasarts store when they start selling it again in Feburary and would like to know.

I haven't heard of a community for Focom in ages. I think most people couldn't get over the controls.. I had a lot of fun with that game - I'd get a whole load of artillery and just start shelling things from halfway across the map. It was awesome.

PoiuyWired Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 E@W. Failing that GB. Its good and solid, with decent story lines, and inteesting easter eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Phobos Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Rebellion. It's been a while since I played it but when I did I was a complete junky. I've played alot of RTS games but Rebellion was the only one that got me REALLY hooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swaaye Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) Rebellion. No contest, IMO. It's Expanded Universe. The guys who made this game were obviously SW nerds who also liked strategy and tactics. I really dug the game's interesting take on turn-based vs. real-time. It has so much detail, so many ways to accomplish things. It's certainly not perfect and could use various overhauls/reworkings, but of all of the SW "RTS" games, it takes the cake. It has a scary learning curve though, that's for sure. This game is no C&C/Starcraft/AoE clone. It's more Master of Orion meets realtime...or something. It's plain different. FoCom was kinda a wreck and foretold the future fall of LucasArts from being able to make good games. I followed the development of that one for years, watched it turn from a top-down 2D RTS into an "exciting" fully 3D version and then watched the awful final version bomb completely. The only redeeming quality of this game is its strange soundtrack. SWGB was just goofy. I haven't played it much because it reminded me too much of Age of Empires and I don't particularly like that series. Darth Vader running around some battlefield lightsabering folks was also too corny for me to deal with lol. Empire at War is a combination of completely awful ground combat, interesting but extremely limited space combat, and a super simplistic strategic Rebellion-wannabe campaign. The game is only good for its multiplayer space combat, I'd say, because it is so easy to jump into (simple/effective/quick).

Landmaster13 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 It'll always be SWGB for me. I adored the easy to use map maker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
